Welcome to our final installment of "Above and Beyond", a series through October spotlighting the efforts of 3 amazing helping professionals who have taken their experiences and sought out ways to use their stories to support others in First Response and Front Line work. Today, I am joined by Patrick Greenhill. Among his accomplishments, Sgt. Greenhill was the Program Coordinator for Safe Passages, an initiative that opened the doors of police agencies as access points to substance abuse treatment services and other necessary ancillary services. The Safe Passages Initiative began in 2016 and has run in 14 Cleveland area police agencies since that time. The program was intended as a model program for public/private community partnerships to address overall community health and wellness. More recently, Patrick has partnered with a team from various backgrounds to develop The 4Rs Path: Emotional Resilience, Mission Readiness, Health Reintegration, and Retention which is focused on both individual and organization health and wellness. The 4Rs Path team is comprised of individuals from varied backgrounds and professional knowledge to include first responders, active-duty military, military veterans, and mindset performance coaches, among others. During this episode, we talk about the desire to help, the hurts from helping, the systems that support (or fail to support), and the hope to heal while remaining committed to the work.

Listen in to our conversation and share it with those you know.
